Inter vs FC Porto Betting Odds, Tips, Predictions, Preview 22nd February 2023
FC Porto travel to Giuseppe Meazza to face Inter on Wednesday for the first of two meetings in the Champions League round of 16.
Inter had to sweat a little more over reaching the knockout stage than expected before settling on 10 points. Two defeats knocked the wind out of their sails a bit, and they need to show more to survive a tough assignment like FC Porto.
The group stages were not without its problems for FC Porto as they proved somewhat vulnerable. While winning four matches, they were also left sweating over two defeats, but managed to top the group nonetheless.
Inter did well to stave off their followers in their group, holding on to their second place despite a couple of setbacks. Losing twice already will have them warned of how focused to need to be at this stage to spring a surprise against FC Porto.
Having already suffered two defeats in the Champions League this season, FC Porto know they need to be fully focused to see the next round. Defeats at this stage have been known to be costly, and we should see a focused performance from FC Porto at Giuseppe Meazza.
Inter go into their next Champions League match, averaging a humble 1.5 goals per game in their last ten matches. They scored a mundane 15 times, while conceding six goals. That amounts to an average of 0.6 per game, where they kept their opponents from scoring five times.
FC Porto scored 22 goals, conceded two and fought their way to a clean sheet eight times in their last ten games.
